Omega SA is a Swiss luxury watchmaker based in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. Omega is owned by the Swatch Group and has been the official timekeeping device of the Olympic Games since 1932.

BLAZE TO BRILLIANCEOmega’s brand experienced resurgence with advertisements that focused on product placement strategies. Omega also adopted many new elements which are successful in increasing Omega’s market share and recognition.

FAITH FACTOROmega has frequently been the official timekeeper for the Olympics, beginning with the 1932 Summer Olympics. Olympic swimmer and multiple gold medalist Michael Phelps is an Omega Ambassador.

ENGAGEMENT THAT ENTHRALS
In 1947, Omega created the first tourbillion wristwatch calibre in the world with the 30I. Twelve of these movements were made, intended for inclusion in the observatory trials in Geneva, Neuchâtel and Kew-Teddington, and they were known as the Omega Observatory Tourbillions. Unlike conventional Tourbillion movements whose cages rotate once per minute, the 30I’s cage rotated one time each seven and a half minutes. In 1949, one of these delivered the best results ever recorded by a wristwatch up to that time.

INNOVEDGEOmega announced the creation of the world’s first movement that is resistant to magnetic fields greater than 1.5 tesla (15,000 gauss), far exceeding the levels of magnetic resistance achieved by any previous movement. Most anti-magnetic watches utilise a soft iron-Faraday cage which distributes electromagnetism in such a way that it cancels the effect on the movement contained within.
Omega has instead built a movement of non-ferrous materials eliminating the need for such a cage and providing far greater resistance to magnetic fields.
